Tetherball

Going to the playground tetherball court
Meeting with my friends, gonna play my favorite sport
Making my way to the tetherball ring
And all I saw was a tetherball string
Next to the ring was a bully standing tall
I wonder what he did with my precious tetherball
Before I could ask him, he grabbed me
And pulled me up to the tetherball string
Getting hit around on a tetherball string
I don't want to be on this tetherball string
But I'm stuck tied to this tetherball string
My whole whole world was spinning round and round
Spinning all day 'til the sun went down
That's when I saw my little tetherball
Couldn't quite reach it but I tried to call
Tetherball, oh tetherball
Getting hit around on a tetherball string
I don't want to be on this tetherball string
But I'm stuck tied to this tetherball string
My tetherball

That Girl

Stop pretending to fake it (Whoa oh)
'Cause you know I can't take it (Whoa oh)
Sarcasm sharp as a knife covered with razorblades wrapped in porcupine quills
The girl, she's not that sharp, she's more blunt
And so cold that she's giving me chills
That girl, there's just something about her
Both my eyes and my heart roll 'round
That girl, there's just something about her
Enigma of the mind, profound
The way she shoots me down
Like a plane on a battlefield showing no remorse
And though I'm on a trajectory to the ground
I can't stop it 'cause there's no other course
That girl, there's just something about her
Both my eyes and my heart roll 'round
That girl, there's just something about her
To her endless insults I'm bound
She never ceases to astound
There's just something about her

You left scorch marks on the sun
On your final summer run (There's no way to make this not sound dumb)
Blazing a trail that cuts the stars
Can't help but wonder where you are (And how you burn me from afar)
Don't say you're leaving
Just turn and go
Don't stop my breathing
You know I can't say no
You left without a single trace
And you forced me to give chase ('Cause I'm not ready to be erased)
I can't find where you try to hide
The north star refused to be my guide (And take away the emptiness inside)
Don't say you're leaving
Just turn and go
Don't stop my breathing
You know I can't say no
Soon you'll be on your way to make a name for yourself
Please find a cozy spot for my heart upon your shelf
Will you remember me then?
(I find it hard to think about the answer
I find it hard to think about)

The End

There are many things on my mind
Stick around a while and you might find
We've got time on our side
So just lay back and let the clock unwind
Baby, I don't know where I'll end up in this crazy world
But I know when I end up, you will be there, girl
Don't you see you don't belong to me?
But don't you think I haven't tried to win you over
I know the lines, I just can't say the words
My acting's unconvincing as my face when playing poker
Baby, I don't know where I'll end up in this crazy world
But I know when I end up, you will be there, girl
So hang me out to dry
And leave my face covered
'Cause if you ever knew the truth
I couldn't stand to be discovered
I don't know where I'll end up in this crazy world
But I know when I end up, you will be there, girl

Condor

The other day, when I was walking around town
I looked up in the sky and this is what I found
I saw a shadow coming from across the sea
And then I realized she was headed straight for me
Condor, picking me up off the ground
Condor, don't ever let me down
Condor, touching the clouds with you
Condor, from up here it's a perfect view
When we're together, my heart sails with you
When we're together, we sail the ocean blue
Carrying me with your wings of a dove
There's nothing in this world that beats a condor's love
Condor, picking me up off the ground
Condor, don't ever let me down
Condor, touching the clouds with you
Condor, from up here it's a perfect view
Getting hit around on a tetherball string
I don't wanna be on this tetherball string
But I'm stuck tied on this tetherball string
I love you condor
I need you condor
Stay with me condor
I love you condor
Condor, picking me up off the ground
Condor, don't ever let me down
Condor, touching the clouds with you
Condor, from up here it's a perfect view
Condor

Lonely Lovely

Take a pick from anyone you like
I know it may sound crazy, but I'm trying to get by
Without a sense of bitterness or doubt
I'm begging for the answer I can't stand to live without
Lonely, lovely
You don't have to be lonely anymore
See the look of stone within your eyes
I know I shouldn't fight this, but to the victor goes the prize
I know I'm not as smooth as those pretending
But how is this for mushy: I just want a happy ending
Lonely, lovely
You don't have to be lonely anymore
The time has come to make a choice
You may be no angel but I swear I would rejoice
But if you have your doubts, that's okay too
I guess I'm only jealous of what I'll never have with you
Lonely, lovely
You don't have to be lonely anymore
